Hello everybody, it has been a while! I had a lovely and active summer holiday but the activity did not include any Popke designing. (It did include too much running away from deer flies who hunted us down in groups while hiking, but still we had a lot of fun.)
I am back now and as a last goodbye to my holiday, I happily present a new summer Popkes picture. Just look at those lazy animals, they don’t seem to be pining for Autumn as I am…
As many of you know, I started a Popke joy photography contest on Instagram. I received a lot of messages from crafters who don’t have Instagram but really want to join the contest. Amongst them are some dear friends and I decided to expand the contest. If you are a member of my Ravelry group, you can now find a thread there with everything you need to know about the contest and, do join, it is fun! I’ve already seen many Popke joy pictures there in the past. Actually, the crafters there came up with Popke joy in the first place, so it would be more then fair to have the contest there too.
You can now join the contest there or use the #popkejoy on instagram.
This holiday I did design the upcoming crocodile on paper, so be ready for a first glimpse of his sweet and kind looks this week.
It is good to be back!

Hi Sonja!
What a marvellously lazy group of happy Popkes! They chose a great spot to have a rest! It’s nice to hear from you, and I’m glad that you enjoyed your summer break. I look forward to seeing a glimpse of the crocodile. xxx
Thanks Jan and good to see you too 🌸
Welcome back! My Popkes are clamouring to have their photo taken again. They love publicity!
Looking forward to the autumn too, and to meeting your friendly crocodile 🐊.
Thank you and I bet they are Chris, looking forward to seeing some pictures!
